About
Marco Pizzorni’s research centers on the intersection of additive manufacturing, surface engineering, and adhesive bonding, with a particular focus on improving the mechanical performance of polymer-based components. His major contribution lies in demonstrating how low-pressure plasma surface modification can significantly enhance the strength and reliability of bonded joints in fused filament fabrication (FFF) parts made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). By systematically comparing plasma treatment with traditional surface abrasion, Pizzorni’s work provides a practical, scalable method for assembling complex, additively manufactured structures—such as robotic grippers—without compromising design freedom. Though his most-cited paper has garnered 3 citations, its impact is notable for addressing a critical bottleneck in the industrial adoption of 3D-printed assemblies: achieving durable, high-performance bonds. Pizzorni’s findings offer engineers a pathway to integrate FFF components into load-bearing applications, advancing the field of hybrid manufacturing. His research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners seeking to optimize surface preparation techniques for polymer-based additive manufacturing, bridging the gap between prototyping and functional end-use parts.
